You should already have maybe 10+ ships in one of your militias main low sec FW system. (various stuff from frigs to Tier3 BC's)

It is your own fault if you base from high sec when FW is a low sec activity.

Next time you are buying a heap of ships + fits in Jita (or wherever). Leave them all unassembled and make sure you grind an extra 75k lp (takes no time at all) and cash it in to around the 75mil needed to pay Black Frog Logistics and have it all shipped to a low sec home system.

I will break down a few more issues that you yourself have acknowledged in your post:
FC asked for a BC.
You come in frigate.
Fleet is really for hitting an iHub. (You are not ever going to be told this before you get to the iHub unless you are very well know in FW due to possible spys or enemy coming to counter the bust fleet etc - after time and you earn trust this will change)
You are now in a frigate and complaining that you have the wrong ships to bust an iHub.
FC decides - oh well these spazzos can't listen and came in the wrong ships so likely can't trust them to listen in a fight - might as well run plexes.



Just another perspective on it.



I can guarantee you that a random backwater system, where the FC's corp happens to have a pos, but noone else ever ventures into, is not one of my militia's main staging systems.
Also I wont be storing ships there anytime soon, because it has no station , we have no pos there, and the next station in neighbouring systems is Tama.

You also should not combine cases that I clearly stated as seperate.
The FC who advertised a 'roam' then went on to shoot an ihub did not ask for any shiptype in particular. So everyone brought kitchensink ships suited for a roam and obviously not enough ammo.
